Pure Yang Body and Top-Grade Fire Spirit Root

"We're all ordinary students, why are you the only one standing out?"

"Jiang Liu, you're betraying your class!"

"Jiang Liu, where did you get so many magic tools?"

"Jiang Liu, you didn't take out a spirit stone loan, did you?"

"Borrowing money to show off isn't a good look."

"Are those wings attached or grown into your flesh?"

Jiang Liu's luxurious Equipment shocked his classmates, who crowded around to touch him, making Jiang Liu's face darken. "Stop plucking the feathers off my wings!"

Li Dongze, standing nearby, was close to tears. Look at me, I have wings too!

He had also bought the First Recharge for his wings, obtaining a green, eerie magic-rank wings. Just as he wanted to show them off after entering the game map, no one paid any attention to him.

These are the only two big wings in the class, don't you want to touch them?

"You bought wings too?"

It was Jiang Liu who noticed Li Dongze's wings first. After his gaze paused slightly on the green, eerie wings, it slowly shifted away. He chuckled, "Your Mosaic magic robe hasn't been repaired yet?"

Wearing the magic robe with its glitched texture, Li Dongze's upper body was largely a mosaic, making him appear even more unconventional than Jiang Liu.

"Repair my ass."

Li Dongze sighed. "A low-grade magic tool, and you expect the official to maintain player interests? Forget it, I'll throw it away after a few days."

For such a low-level BUG, let alone in the Cultivation Era, even any trash mobile game wouldn't fix it. They wouldn't bother.

Amidst the clamor, Jiang Liu finally had time to observe the event map.

The map was as its name suggested: an abandoned mine area. The open space at the starting line was packed with people. On both sides were dull gray mine walls, about twenty to thirty meters high. Directly ahead was a semi-transparent light curtain, behind which lay a long path leading into the depths of the mine.

This long path could only accommodate about a thousand people side-by-side. This meant that if one didn't seize the initiative at the start, they would likely fall behind every step of the way.

Of course, this was irrelevant to Jiang Liu; he could fly.

With ten thousand people running on one track, the entire school's teachers and students occupied a small portion of the slots. They huddled together, led by the Principal and teachers, and forcefully pushed their way to the front of the starting line.

Besides this group of students, the rest were office workers from nearby. They felt too embarrassed to push with the students and silently kept their distance.

It was only a few days after the server opened, so the student identity still had some utility. It wouldn't sound good if adults were seen fighting with students for things.

A few more days, and they probably wouldn't have this thought.

I'm a student, let me go first?

Get lost.

As the countdown ended and the light curtain slowly disappeared, just like the start of a marathon, a dense crowd surged forward, charging towards the finish line at full speed.

The noisy footsteps echoed through the mine area. Amidst the chaos, laughter and curses could be heard.

"I'm going ahead."

After greeting his classmates, Jiang Liu stomped his foot, flapped his Soaring Cloud Wings, and soared into the sky. His Equipment shone like a neon light, and in the blink of an eye, he broke away from the main group, taking the lead.

But just a few seconds after he flew into the mine path, Li Dongze's cry for help came from behind him.

"Bro, save me!"

Jiang Liu instinctively looked back and was instantly speechless.

He saw Li Dongze wobbling behind him, his green, eerie wings flapping erratically, going up and down, left and right, almost crashing into the mine walls.

"What the hell is this?"

The moment Li Dongze's head dipped down, Jiang Liu grabbed his arm and said with a darkened expression, "Didn't you practice after buying your wings?"

When he first got his wings, he was similar to Li Dongze, but through the training of the Lingyun Sect Outer Elder and the senior disciple, he could already fly steadily.

"I... I'm afraid of heights, how could I practice!"

Li Dongze tightly gripped Jiang Liu's arm, his face pale, his voice trembling slightly. "What do I do? Don't wings cure fear of heights?"

Jiang Liu: "..."

It doesn't have that function either.

"Then what are you waiting for? Down you go."

Jiang Liu shook his head, dragged Li Dongze for more than ten seconds, and after creating some distance from the main group, he heartlessly let go.

"Good brother, farewell."

"You bastard."

Li Dongze knew he was slowing Jiang Liu down. After cursing, he gritted his teeth and continued to charge forward with his eyes closed.

He refused to believe that with wings and a high-level buff, he couldn't even break into the top ten.

He could break in.

Among these ten thousand players, those with wings were few and far between. After dropping Li Dongze, Jiang Liu flew straight ahead, the water spiritual energy in his body surging as he rode the wind.

Relying on the hidden attributes of his eight magic tools, coupled with the advantage of his Qi Refining Layer 8 physique, he surpassed the wing-wielding players ahead in mere moments.

Like a hurricane sweeping past, he zipped by, leaving the person next to him stunned and shouting, "Classmate, why are you flying so fast!"

Jiang Liu glanced at the uncle with wings and casually replied, "If you were at Qi Refining Layer 8, you'd be flying fast too."

Uncle: "."

Qi Refining Layer 8, are all students these days this heaven-defying?

Soon, after turning the long straight path, Jiang Liu saw the figure of the person in first place, only twenty meters away from him.

"Is that... a person?"

When Jiang Liu saw the person in first place, his eyelids twitched, and an extremely scorching heat wave washed over him.

Twenty meters ahead of him, a fireball was flying, and within the flickering flames, a human figure could vaguely be seen.

What kind of monster is this?

Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment. The distance between them closed in an instant. As he brushed past and overtook, he subconsciously glanced at the figure in the flames and blurted out, "Su Weiyang?"

This fire person was actually the top student who had always held the number one spot on their school's rankings.

Within the deep red flames was a girl wearing white long-sleeved sweatpants, her black hair fluttering with the fire, her face delicate and cold. Her seemingly ordinary, slender figure moved like a fish leaping through the air, her flying technique clearly honed through hard practice.

Su Weiyang, seeing someone able to keep up with her speed, was also slightly surprised. She nodded at Jiang Liu, her voice clear and resonant, "Jiang Liu from Class 3?"

"Uh, no, why are you on fire?"

Jiang Liu replied, asking with great curiosity.

He had genuinely never seen anyone walking around covered in flames. Didn't it hurt? What material were those clothes made of?

"I'm bugged."

Seeing that it was a classmate, Su Weiyang had nothing to hide and calmly said, "It's a side effect of the Pure Yang Body and top-grade fire spirit root interacting. I can't control the flames."

Jiang Liu: "?????"

If it were just the side effect of a top-grade fire spirit root, he would understand. When he had his top-grade water spirit root, he could summon tons of water. It was normal for a top-grade fire spirit root to be unable to control its flames.

But what the heck was the Pure Yang Body?

Isn't she a girl?

Could it be... she's not!?
